It's about hygiene in videogames.

Finally an issue we can all agree is a huge problem and solutions need to be found for.

Steve puts on an ugly shirt
I tell steve "Hey, you look terrible in that"
Steve changes his shirt

I have now censored steve, and his self expression via clothing choices.

Yah except in this case if Steve decides to continue wearing the shirt, you and the mob try to take away his livelihood and brand him as a social pariah for choosing to wear a shirt someone has deemed unacceptable.

Isn't that shaming of some sort ? Which is a huge part of ERA culture (I'm an expert) (they're bi).

[ZombieSupaStar]

Not that it’s a bad game, gameplay wise. But the drama surrounding Ion Fury has been more entertaining than the actual game itself.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

They have corrupted the word so that it applies only to the removal of hateful ideas they like.

shit this was said for some other game in this thread a while ago and now I can't remember which

[Boredfrom]

Looks super cute and a lot of indie artists from North America (and around the world?) were a part of it! I think it's pretty awesome that way.
Though I hear so much drama about one of the artists involved that I have mixed feelings for its success lol.

Do I wanna know about said drama?

Hahaha, well it's kind very "highschool" even though the people involved are all late 20s to early 30s, so it has a bit (or a lot??) of stupid associated with it.

It's not to do with the game itself that I know of, but just one of the prominent contributing artists has a history of stirring up bad blood with other indie artists.

THEN SHUT THE FUCK UP.

https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-the-amish-shunning/erin-wisti

this sounds less strict than era

So how do Amish people practice shunning? Rules vary between churches. However, most churches do not allow members to buy or sell with a shunned individual. Church members are also not allowed to sit at the same table or share a meal with a shunned person. Some churches also forbid people from accepting gifts or visiting the homes of a shunned person.

It's not harrassment if you are able to dig up enough examples of to reclassify the victim not as another poster but as a dissent sowing sleeper agent   

[ShutUp]

A dumb "Ogay" joke isn't worth getting upset about just as much the removal of that joke isn't worth getting upset about. It's all dumb

Meh;  none of it upsets me directly, but I think we are better off as a society since homophobic jokes became unacceptable (or at the very least, relegated to actually funny or ironic comedy).   Like I imagine it's way more comfortable to be gay these days than it was 10 years ago when "lol that's gay" was way more common. 

Not my fight to fight but I don't find it funny to laugh at people getting upset over childish homophobia.

There is nothing homophobic about "Ogay". People that do think it's homophobic deserve to be laughed at. 

[ShutUp]

Wait, so now ERA wants to review bomb Ion Fury again? Wasn't that just classified by them as an alt right tactic after the devs initially seemed to remove what they wanted gone? 

Point this out to them in the latest thread there and watch their circuits fry (after a swift ban hammer descends on your account, of course).

Right in the beginning, Dave's on point with an impression:

'Uh, duuuuh.  Hey!  Durr!  If you do anything wrong in your life, duh, and I find out about it, I'm gonna try to take everything away from you, and I don't care when I find out.  Could be today, tomorrow, 15, 20 years from now.  If I find out, you're fucking-duh-finished.'

[Audience laughs]

Who...who's that?

[Audience members say "Trump!"]

Thaaaat's YOU!

[laughter]

That's what the audience sounds like to me.

[laughter]

That's why I don't be coming out doing comedy all the time, 'cause ya'll niccas is the worst motherfuckers I've ever tried to entertain in my fucking life.

[cheering and applause]

Ugh.  I'm goddamn sick of of it.  This is the worst time ever to be a celebrity.  You're gonna be finished.  Everyone's doomed. 

[laughter]

Michael Jackson has been dead for ten years and this nicca has two new cases.

[laughter]

Sounds like to me. 

[stufte]

Pretty sure I made an "Oil of Ogay" joke when I was in middle school. It's stupid, but I'm aslo pretty sure you'd see that kind of dumb joke in an edgy dudebro 90's FPS.

Yup, Dave's special was 1/3 cancel culture/celebrity woes, 1/3 'the people that took 20% of the alphabet', 1/3 white drug epidemic, abortions and gun laws

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

So can we put this game on the list of banned games since they are straight up being homophobic and aren't apologetic about it?

Unlike THQ Noric which might encompass a big list of people, this is directly from their developers and is part of the game and it's not even debatable that its completely homophobic.

I'm paying 90 for the Limited Edition 

It's Zelda, if I compare the money I invested in the series to the countless hours I played the games it's probably the cheapest entertainment on this side of the planet.

Crash/Spyro are the most similar remakes to Link’s Awakening I can think of. It’s not a brand new game like RE2/FF7. It’s the same game in a new engine.

Most similar example I can of is the WWHD, which funnily was $10 cheaper than other games.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't it more akin to RE2 in that it's the original game idea that has been remade from the ground up?

The same game in a new engine is like Shadow of the Colossus.

[stufte]

Baldur's Gate?  Age of Empires?

Struggling to think of a remake that was full price, but I don't know that many lol

Isn't Link's Awakening a GameBoy game too?  lol

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one to bitch about pricing.. but this is Nintendo, they always charge a premium.

Those games are remasters, not remakes. The difference is that one has higher fidelity assets and resolutions, and the other is completely remade from the ground up.

like, I'm not going to buy a 4k remaster of the wizard of oz, but I might buy a brand new version of it with different actors and VFX.

[EightBitNate]

Nope it’s the same game remade with polygons in HD. Will probably be a couple twists but it’s not being advertised as a reimagining like RE2 was.

SotC is another good example. I believe that was $40 MSRP.
